The front door leads to the Sun Room which was originally used to enclose animals, bordered by a riverstone wall and capped with bricks. Careful 'excavation' of the stones revealed their full beauty and the floor covered with a mellow Cotswold flagstone thus enhancing the whole room. Kiwi vines encroach into the sunroom offering shade on those hot days.
The Sunroom overlooks the orchard and patio. At each end is Elizabethan-oak screening, chosen and erected because of its resemblance to many rooms in old Devon houses. The two doors leading from the Sun Room to the main rooms of the cottage are original, evidenced by the worn wood rubbed by cattle over the decades, and renovated with bull's-eye glass inserts to "lighten" both rooms and doors.
